UCAR COMET

Did you know COMET provides end-to-end early warning support for weather events? Our team met with Dominicano de Meteorologia Director Gloria Ceballos and Deputy Director Miguel Campusano to launch a study to improve early warning systems in partnership with the @nhc-atlantic.extwitter.link.

Thank you for sharing, Robin! And thank you for your amazing contributions to COMET last year. We all miss you!

Weather data and early warning systems save lives. That's why we've teamed up with Climate Hazards Center to deploy our 3D-PAWS in some of the most food-insecure regions.

We recently conducted a week-long training for our 3D-Printed Automatic Weather Stations (3D-PAWS) at the Red Lake Nation College. We trained staff to fabricate two 3D-PAWS systems for educational and research studies on the Red Lake Tribal Lands. We're excited for this partnership!

A new MetEd experience is here! Here are some of the upgraded features on the new platform:
📈 Stronger tools to track progress
